Higher Education Opportunities

Knowing that students have multiple pressures and diverse expectations going on in their lives, we are providing a variety of approaches to learning the principles of Spiritual Leadership within Higher Education settings. We have built different types of programs in partnerships with Colleges, Seminaries and Universities and are excited to provide opportunities for students who are interested in learning, and experiencing the art and science of leadership.

The following provides an example of the syllabus used to integrate a MDiv program with SLI spiritual leadership development

Phase 1:SLI syllabus

Introductions: Learning about and practicing spiritual formation within a mission-oriented project team

SLI processes: Learning how these processes facilitate both “being and making disciples” as a primary strategy for ministry leadership (L3 Loving, Learning, and Leading in modified/reduced way)

The practices of covenant

Self reflection/self awareness in relationship with others: Students read and reflect on The Anatomy of Peace

Leadership Identity: SLI definitions of leadership including - COGPOW - deep change begins with us - leaders are first of all followers

Introduction to Supervised Ministry Teams (SMT)

Intro to Project Leaders - SLI practioners

Begin formation and covenant practices with SMT under supervision of the SMT Leader toward end of Phase 1

Phase 2: SLI syllabus

Begin SMT with the intent of quickly growing the team past the state of Independent Leaders into a Connected Team
